Philippians 2:23 Meaning and Commentary

Philippians 2:23

Him therefore I hope to send presently
For the reasons now given:

so soon as I shall see how it will go with me;
whether he should be released from his bonds or not; whether he should live or die; whether he should be set free, or be called to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Christ; for he expected, that the matter would be determined in a very short time, when, be it at it would, Timothy would be spared.

Philippians 2:23 In-Context

21 Everyone else looks after his own interests, not after those of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know what kind of person Timothy proved to be. Like a father and son we worked hard together to spread the Good News.

23 I hope to send him as soon as I see how things are going to turn out for me.

24 But the Lord gives me confidence that I will come [to visit you] soon.

25 I feel that I must send Epaphroditus--my brother, coworker, and fellow soldier--back to you. You sent him as your personal representative to help me in my need.
